The New States Name.
HOW DOES CoLUMBIANA SOUND?

HOW DOES coLUMBIASA SOUND?
The Spokane Chronicle suggests as
a solution OF the perplexing question,
what shall the new State be called,
" That the Governor invite the news
papers of the Territory to collect the
most euphonious Indian names Of
their several localities, each paper con-
tanning q list to be mailed to the Score
tary of the Territory, who shall pre-
serve these papers till the meeting OF
the Legislature, next winter, and at
some convenient period during the
session committee Of nine be appoint
ed, three OF whom shall be members OF
the Council three OF the House and
three editors ofprominent newspapers.
From the names furnished by the
papers, title for the new state should
be selected by majority vote, adopted
by the Legislature, and forwarded to
our Delegate in Congress or the Com
mittee on Territories and incorporated
in the admission act"
The idea is an excellent one, and
will probably lead to the selection of a
name that all will cheerfully accept.
And right here we begin our list. 1t
is short
COLUMBIANA.
Columbia was the name originally
selected for the Territory to bear, and
if we mistake not, Washington" was
substituted while the bill was before
Congress, and reluctantly accepted by
delegate Thurston, who did not wish
to jeopandize its passage by objection
to minor details. Columbiana is not
an Indian name, but we hope it will
not be rejected on that account.
The only objection We have ever
heard urged against the adoption Of
the name of Columbia for the new
State has been that it would probably
lead to some confusion in use by
confounding it with the District O
Columbia and British Columbia
The same objection applies to Wash
ington, from the prominence of thu
National Capital and the difficulty O
using the tarm without prefixing the
words State of" to obviatc the sa m.
difficulty. BY use use of the termina
"ana," We think that all objection
is removed, to the use of the for
mer term, while it would be difficult t.
find any syllable that would transform
Washington into anything like nam,
of euphony and preserve its identity.
Nobody wants the name Of Tacoma
except the people who own town-lots in
the City of Destiny" and even they
can doubtless see that to adopt tern
that would confound Tacoma city will
the State of Tacoma would lead to &
endless trouble and confusion. Be
sides, it must be admitted that ole
Christopher Columbus has not had {
fair shake in the distribution of thu
honors, and should have something
larger than the tcn-mile-long Distric
of Columbia, and broader than tn.
river which bears his name, to com
memorate the discovery of the con
tinent. Even the latter distinction il
denied him by the distinguished poe
who ignores the secondhand honor b,
referring to the great Northwest as
"Where rolls the Oregon
And hears no sound save its own dashings."
Let US perpetuate the memory O
the daring Genoese navigator by {
means more enduring than marble, b,
incorporating his name in that of tn
growing and prosperous State of Col
umbiana.

SAN Francisco, Sept. l2.-Washing-
ton Bartlett, CALIFORNIA; sixteenth
Governor, died in Oakland at o'clock
this afternoon, ut the residence of his
cousin, Mrs. DR.. Buckle. A gradual
decline in the Governors health
eliminated on the Odd of August in u
stroke of partial paralysis, which, COM
bined with kidney trouble, formed
the complication of maladies which
caused his death. The deceased was
in the sixty-third year of his life, and is
the first Governor of California who
has died while filling the executive
chair. His burial will take place either
on Thursday or Friday of this week.

The Hop Crop in the East.
New YORK, Sept 10.-Advices are
received concerning the hop crop
in various parts of this State. The tor
nado of the present week damaged the
crop to some extent. The sale is re-
ported at Cooperstown of one crop at
20 cents. Oneida advices are that
dealers contracts are made for hops
to be delivered later on at an average
of from Is to 20 cents. Growers have
not been in SO great hurry as is
usually the case, the reason being the
absence of vermin and mold and a
noticeable improvement in the quality
of hops which are allowed to hang n
few days longer on the poles.

morning, the entire city was aroused
oy most terrific explosion. In few
minutes it was learned that the powder
house OF the Chicago. William & Yer
NIL hon Coal Company had been struck
oy lightning, and between 600 and
Io,OOO pounds of powder exploded. On
arriving at the scene a terrible sight
presented itself. Every dwelling on the
south and west of the powder house
had been completely shattered, and in
mot cases entirely demolished. Not a
vestige of the house remains, while
where 1t stood is an excavation OF about
sixty feet long, forty feet wide and ten
feet deep. Rescuing parties were
formed, and search for the dead and in
lured oegun. Strange to say, only one
fatality has been reported, but a large
number are seriously injured. The
number of casualties will reach nearly
100 Forty-five dwellings were almost
totally dem iished. and not plate glass
window is left in the business part of the
city. 1t Is impossible to estimate the
loss, but it will probably reach Sic, 900.
